After deciding that we would cruise this year for our summer holiday it became apparent that there were only two options and we went for MSC Fantasia based on the itinerary, dates and price (for the price of a balcony on NCL we got a suite on MSC - the space was really important as we were travelling with our 16 year old daughter).
We flew to Majorca with Ryanair getting into Palma for lunch ...
We chose this cruise as there were three ports of call new to ourselves.
Lido Deck Too large a comfortable seating area earmarked for smokers, particularly when public areas (on land) are discouraging the habit.
Dining Surprisingly, choice of all three courses at dinner required when ordering. One does not always know whether one might even wish for a third course after the ...
The cruise experience is terrible on this ship with fun prohibited at every turn
- one small pool for 3000 guests to fight over
- pool marshals warn kids not to splash, just sit and be quiet NO FUN
- on the disco the DJ asked that no drinks be brought onto the dance floor NO FUN
- casual events such as bingo and trivia are hard to come by, no prizes / swag to be won NO ...
Subject: SilverSea Cruise , Lisbon to Barcelona
Unfortunately the little details were a negative.
TV with a remote that has to be changed 1 channel at a time is prehistoric. 10 years past its time. also not a good list of channel offerings. 2 of 3 movie channels worked . channels 1-5 all about Silver sea. Yes they acknowledge it’s a problem.
WI Fi also dated. i paid the extra $200. for ...
This is an honest review from a Royal Caribbean Oasis Class enthusiast.
Celebrity Edge is beautiful.
There were 25 of us, 2 children, 2 seniors, 4 Gen Z, and the rest Millennial
Boarding in Rome– disorganized, there was no sign where the Edge entrance was, we almost entered another ship. We were dropped off in one area, we had to drag our luggage from limo to drop off (outside the ...
I was asked to accompany a friend and this was my first ever cruise. It was the best experience ever, From start to finish the whole experience was effortless. No queuing to board or disembark. Very calm and professional service throughout.
I did visit the gym once( to look around!) very well equipped but did not use it as I was relaxing but lots of people did.
I was fortunate enough to ...
We chose this ship because we sailed on it in 2013 and were very happy with it except for the food but that was fine. When we saw the condition the ship was in and our cabin, we just couldn't believe it. It was tired, run down, dirty and very unattractive. RC removed some of the public areas and added cabins; therefore, the ship was overcrowded and understaffed. We met people who were showering ...
Went on a family vacation August 2019 on jewel of the seas with Royal Caribbean. Spent 3 days in Rome, Italy before the cruise and to be honest that was my favourite part of our holiday. I would rate overall experience on the ship 3/5. Here are some of the pros and cons:
Pros:
•exceptionally friendly staff (especially during dining experiences, they always knew our names and usual ...
After our first cruise on Symphony of the Seas we were worried a smaller ship would disappoint us. It didnt. We really didn't miss anything and thought the Jewel was lovely. The staff however is horrible in comparison. We only saw our cabin steward a couple of times. He was not interested nor did he remember our names. When we fist arrived the toilet seat was not clean, lipstick on towels and ...
Chose this cruise because my friend was going but she later cancelled. When I arrived at the terminal there was some confusion at curbside re luggage checkin. When I got onboard went to Garden Cafe for lunch and the place was busy. I noticed many children with their families. I guess that’s to be expected during the summer season. I had an inside cabin that had a small stocked refrigerator. The ...
